Crayon → PYRAMYD. How the move works.

Crayon stores signals; sales asks multi-node questions. The gap between document-centric CI and graph-grounded CI shows up the moment a question requires joining two facts that live in different documents. This is the playbook for moving onto the graph.

Why teams move

The migration playbook is functionally identical to the Klue cutover — same library export pattern, same enablement-tool connectors, same timeline. Crayon-specific notes below.

The timeline

Four weeks. Four phases.

Assumes existing Crayon deployment with 5-9 active named-competitor battlecards and a Salesforce + Highspot / Seismic integration footprint.

Week 1 · Discovery

  • Export Crayon competitor list, battlecards, stakeholder roster, and content tags
  • Identify which 25 named competitors hurt deals most — anchor migration around those
  • Map your category coverage to PYRAMYD's 2,546 live Product Categories
  • Joint scoping with PYRAMYD design-partner success team

Week 2 · Library port

  • Import Crayon battlecard library (CSV / JSON / API)
  • Tag library content against graph nodes: competitor, product, capability, category
  • Connect Salesforce or HubSpot so battlecards are built with your deal context
  • Train 3-5 CI power users on graph-grounded query patterns

Week 3 · Live graph cutover

  • Add your 25 named competitors to a watchlist and refresh their signals — releases, pricing, hiring, press, reviews
  • Build the first graph-grounded battlecard for the most-deployed competitor; compare to Crayon source
  • Side-by-side AE test: same deal-stage question in Crayon and PYRAMYD; compare recency + citations

Week 4 · Cutover + Crayon sunset

  • Migrate remaining named-competitor battlecards (typically 5-9 active cards per Crayon deployment)
  • Disable Crayon auto-publish into enablement stack (Highspot / Seismic / wikis)
  • Cancel Crayon renewal at next contract date — typical 30-day notice clause
  • QBR alignment: Sales + CI + Product Marketing on the new substrate; measure 30-60-90 day deal-stage win lift
